Mr Isine also emerged winner for the online category, with his report published in April 2019 on “How bribe-taking security operatives gang-force Nigerians to pay dearly for food.”While speaking at the award presentation on Monday, Umaru Pate, the chairman of the 2019 judges board, said selecting the finalists was a rigorous task as the centre received many entries from different parts of Nigeria.
Since its start in 2005, the award has produced 91 finalists, 48 laureates, nine investigative journalists of the year and 20 recipients of honourary awards. Motunrayo Alaka, the Executive Director of WSCIJ, said the works Nigerian journalists do despite the pressure and threats they face is commendable.
The Wole Soyinka Centre also gave honourary awards to Sunmi Smart-Cole and Amnesty International Nigeria.
Wole soyinka’s investigative ginni? Where it dey? No wonder the VP declined the offer. Fake news peddling does not count as “investigative journalism”. Not a single Nigerian journalist deserves any of the awards!

Soyinka Centre postpones Integrity Award on Osinbajo over protests – Daily TrustThe Wole Soyinka Centre for Investigative Journalism (WSCIJ) has postponed the presentation of award to the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo after it generated protests on social media. Which integrity does the dwarf VP have? See how a government he is serving is truncating human rights and abusing court orders. This Prof is a disgrace to himself, Yorubas and his Church Gbam, ones whose integrity has never been questioned must and will always be recognised. Osinbajo himself said it is not the right time. It show how Intelligent the man VP is. He is cultural and environmentally intelligent and smart and also sensitive. I wish people will see that and understand the kind of man Osinbajo is
